Before stripping the First Born from the planet, it was necessary to set up a receptacle. The uncontrollable monster must be suppressed in a prison at all times to be reassuring. Therefore, Hao Ren and Raven 12345's shadow doppelgangers … err, the avatars were teleported into the Plane of Dreams first.
It was dawn in Alamanda, the abandoned golden capital. When Hao Ren came to the teleportation square, he saw the first bright ray of sunlight slanting from the end of the horizon to the city, diffusing rays of light on the ancient and solemn ruins. He felt that the Tannaeans must have a different visual mechanism from the people on Earth, because once their city encountered a sunny day, it would be blinding to Lily's eyes.
But at any rate, it seemed a good sign to begin the project at such a glorious moment.
"I intend to set the research station in the orbit of Tannagost," Hao Ren raised his hand and pointed to the sky. "In the future, Tannagost will also have a large satellite."
The planet did not have a large natural satellite like the moon, only three very small rock satellites orbiting it. The three satellites were too small, obviously not suitable to carry the prison of the First Born. Hao Ren believed that when the 'receptacle' was built, it would become the brightest light source in the night sky of Tannagost.
Raven 12345 looked down at her hands, and layers of ripples were spreading away from her body. She felt that somewhere in the depths of the universe … or in a certain frequency, there was a hidden force, and this force was reacting to her visit.
The goddess curled her lips. "Tsk, it's still reacting after being weakened to this extent. Damn sensitive."
"What?" Hao Ren did not hear it clearly and turned his head to ask.
"Nothing, time is precious." Raven 12345 waved her hand, grabbed Hao Ren's clothes, and directly teleported the two of them to the synchronous orbit of Tannagost.
After determining the best place to build the 'receptacle', Hao Ren stepped back a little to make room. Raven 12345 snapped her fingers. Even in a vacuum environment, her voice still spread like a soul-piercing sound. "Let there be light."
In an instant, the dark space was filled with light, and the overwhelming light suddenly filled the vision and quickly spread across the entire galaxy.
"Damn, it's too bright. Let's not do it. Let's work in the dark."
So the starry sky returned to darkness.
Hao Ren felt cold sweat on his forehead. The goddess's power was really unprecedented, but … was she really reliable?
Regardless of Hao Ren's inner criticism, Raven 12345 had begun to build the base of the research station. She wanted to create a divine receptacle, and the shell of the receptacle must be able to perfectly defend against the attack of the First Born, so that they could not escape. And in her current state, this was not an easy task.
Thus, she concentrated on changing the rules of this area with her own thoughts.
Strands of light began to appear in the vast space. Raven 12345 contacted her spirit with the underlying data of the universe, and by directly modifying the data, she created a miracle that defied the laws of physics within a limited range. Energy and matter appeared out of thin air, and strange crystals that did not conform to the laws of this world emerged in the space and formed a massive dome.
She created several crystal-like floating platforms, set a huge pit in the center of the floating platforms, and then covered it with a crystal dome. Then, she connected the floating platforms with huge, shining beams so that they could exchange data and fix each other. In the process of rapid integration, a large number of glittering runes spread on the surface of these things, as if they were alive and growing.
Hao Ren felt that this was the most wonderful, spectacular, and magnificent scene he had ever seen: crystal mountains emerged out of thin air, grew rapidly, and the crystal clear cliffs and domes were enough to cover the sky in a few blinks of an eye. And among these rapidly growing crystals and metals, mysterious runes that no one could understand wandered around as if they were alive, forming the control and computing center of the entire facility.
And in the process of all this, Raven 12345's figure was rapidly fading, and this one-time inferior doppelganger was about to be damaged.
Tampering with the laws of the universe was a very energy-consuming thing, especially when it was tampering with a special universe like the Plane of Dreams.
After the main part was completed, Raven 12345 stopped. Now the entire crystal facility had become a huge artificial celestial body, about the width of the moon, connected by more than a dozen symmetrically distributed dislocated ellipsoidal domes. Those domes were divided in the middle, composed of two hemispherical structures of different sizes, and inside was a huge container — big enough to contain the First Born, and some of the domes also had space expansion attributes, and even bigger things could be stored inside.
Now the appearance of the facility had stopped changing and growing, but there was still light shooting out from the inside. It was perfecting its structure and "growing" some of the devices that a research facility should be equipped with. And Raven 12345 looked at her work with satisfaction. She gently gave it its initial orbit and reset the attitude of the planet Tannagost to prevent the sudden appearance of this big guy in the orbit from affecting the ecology of the entire planet below. After all, this crystal mountain was enough to affect the orbit of other planets.
"Although it was made in a hurry... but it still looks pretty good," Raven 12345 boasted with her arms crossed. "I'm not bragging. Back in the City of Shadows, it won an award in the arts and crafts competition. Especially... sigh, I don't want to talk about this. It reminds me of the star I lost back then. Where the hell did you throw that kid? "
Hao Ren stopped marveling at the crystal mountains and floated to Raven 12345's side. He looked at the goddess's thin and almost transparent body and asked, "Is this okay with you?"
"What's wrong with me?" The goddess blinked and noticed the state of her doppelganger. "Oh, you mean this? Under normal circumstances, I said I can't intervene in the Plane of Dreams for a long time. This doppelganger can only last for 30 minutes because I've recently adjusted the balance of the two universes. Now do you understand why I left this mess to you even though I'm so capable? "
Hao Ren frowned and had some vague ideas in his mind. "What will happen if you intervene too much in the Plane of Dreams?"
"What? You'll know when you look at the stars in the distance. "Raven 12345 shrugged and raised her finger to the vast starry sky.
Only then did Hao Ren notice that the stars in the distance were showing a visible abnormality: the starlight was turbulent and distorted, and all kinds of light in the depths of the universe were dragging a long tail and pointing in this direction. It was as if a layer of spherical glass was covering all directions, and the entire universe was distorted because of this.
"Now it's just an optical phenomenon that has a little problem. What's going to be a problem is not just the starlight, but the stars themselves." Raven 12345's figure was getting fainter and fainter. She shrugged helplessly as she spoke. "You know, when there's a sick parasite hanging on a normal universe, being God here becomes a very challenging thing. What I'm doing every day is like lighting a cigarette on a gas tank or knocking a nail on an eggshell. Any intervention of mine in the Plane of Dreams, including observation, or even just looking at it, is enough to make the universe spasm. Even if it's just a projection with a little bit of divine thought, it's enough to destroy this place after 31 minutes. "
Hao Ren was stunned.
"… So, the job should be given to the right person. As the saying goes, there's a specialization in every field." The goddess waved her hand at Hao Ren. "This is the first time I'm directly helping you in the Plane of Dreams, and probably the last time. My intervention in this world ends here. I'll leave the rest to you … "
As the last words disappeared in Hao Ren's mind, Raven 12345's figure finally completely disappeared into space. The next moment, the entire universe of stars returned to their positions.
Hao Ren touched his forehead, feeling a little sweaty.
Just now, the world was only 60 seconds away from doomsday.
"Damn, if it's so serious … you should've told me earlier," Hao Ren complained to the empty space, and then curiously muttered, "But … what's with the sick parasite?"
